who has a great KOKOSH cake recipe from ahmahl [? yesteryear? [from the Hungarians? ] please post!!!
but i do find it quite yucky to get others homemade stuff in shalach manos..those are the first to be thrown out no matter how good it looks- unless its from a close family member….i always feel bad but its just unappetizing to eat from someone else.
yum looking. would never use that much margarine.. maybe coconut oil instead? and whole wheat flour. And then i wonder why my recipes never come out like this 😉
what a great video !!! thanks for posting it ….
I dont have vanilla sugar – can I use something else ?
